Fringe team member @park_actual is launching his own short film- and we're 100% into it. It's techno-optimist hard candy in a dystopian wrapper. Throw him some bones! Indiegogo: igg.me/at/horse-fly/

My former student, and progressive city council member, @LewisforSeattle is being attacked by the big money of MAGA Trump donors and national corporate interests. Don't let them get away with it, Seattle! Ballots are out now, make a plan to vote! And vote before November 7th!

Every conversation about improving people’s lives needs to have the reform of building codes and land use plans as the first two action items. Socioeconomic mobility? Land use and building code. Access to services and education? Land use and building code. Public health? (mental & physical) Land use and building code. Economic development and small businesses? Land use and building code. Affordable housing? Land use and building code. Aging in place for seniors? Land use and building code. Improved public education? Land use and building code. Better city services, parks, recreation? Land use and building code.

“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford this in #Copenhagen?’ I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it? 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure… bicycling.” — @mortenkabell

My unpopular opinion is that our selective upzoning of commercial properties makes it uneconomical to for these businesses to exist. A broad upzone, conversely, would depress land values citywide and would lead to more local businesses.

Seatttle’s people want new housing everywhere. Will our city government lead or obfuscate and block progress?
seattle's planning department asked people at community meetings where they wanted to see housing. they subsequently broke down "everywhere" into several categories to water down the response so i fixed the chart

Every city in human history before 1920 was a 15-minute city. Car dependent suburbia is the result of massive, top-down government programs and auto industry boosterism. 15-minute cities are another way to say “Older cities are nice. I would like to be able to walk to the store.”
Just read the C-40 reports for yourself and see if any of the concerns are "conspiracy."

For decades, planners have dispersed the functions of the city, excluding anyone without the mobility or means to cover those distances. A 15-minute city is about reconciling this past injustice; offering everyone—regardless of age, ability or income—access to their daily needs. – at Delft, Nederland

Whenever I watch the movie Prospect, starring Pedro Pascal and Sophie Thatcher, I get more and more bullish on @zeeeeeek and the @fringedrifters team

Watch 2018's Prospect for the story, yes, but also for the vibes. cnet.co/3KcvGA1

If you want more morally-grey Pedro Pascal teaming up with a resourceful young girl to navigate a hostile landscape, Prospect (2018) is excellent indie sci-fi that brings frontier ruthlessness to another world

A dream
“This is going to sound wild to anyone who lives in the US, but for any two-story rowhouse in Tokyo, the owner can by right operate a bar, a restaurant, a boutique, a small workshop on the ground floor — even in the residential zoned sections of the city.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

this is why i think the next comprehensive plan in 2024 should actually shoot for the moon. legalize it all. legalize retail, mixed uses, 6 or 8 unit flats citywide. we always do the bare minimum and it fails. its not a minimum comp plan update, its a major one. so go bold
